but what if the husband wil never turn to Christ no matter how much she tries? and she loves her husband and doesnt want him to go to hell? in my case i'm becoming spiritually drained...my husband is either dead or sleeping spiritually, he cannot love others and/or will not. i am a generous giving kind of person, he prevents me from giving to others in need. b/c we are together w/money i have to ask him if i can help a family member and not a lot of money but smallfavors that are normal anyone would do them, he says no because that person will always ask. he doesnt even want to understand. gosh its so hard to explain in such few wrods here. but basically i canot understand my husbands logic! he looks down on "giving" and me i am giving he frowns upon it always fearing that if he lets me give i wil make him poor isnt that insane! i cannot lend a brother $30! i cannot send a poor third world country cousin some cream to heal his surgical scar!...serious answers please only

many churches have become the giant beggers to the extent that they scare thier members to fellowship on sundays. I want to know whether churches can turn into economic benefactors to their followers instead of giant Sunday beggars from the poorest.

The Boy Who Wanted To Meet God...
There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a
long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies
and a six-pack of root beer, and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was
sitting in the park, staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next
to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his
root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he
offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he
offered her a root beer. Once again, she smiled at him. The boy was
delighted. They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, yet they
never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy got up to leave. Before he had gone more
than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and
gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own home a short time later, his
mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.

She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy? He
replied, "I had lunch with God.” But before his mother could respond,
he added,” You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever
seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her
home. Her neighbor was stunned by the look of peace on her face, and
she asked,” What did you do today that made you so happy?" She
replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her
neighbor responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I
expected."

I am a Christian in dire need of a make over. I am miserable, desperate for attention, and angrier by the day. I stopped reading the Bible along time because of many personal issues, and I have no faith in the Lord that I once believed loved unconditionally. I am a man who is lost even though I am saved. I never suffered like this until this year came about and I want this pain to go away.

Why are the people who are God fearing and loving to even their worst enemies always suffer? Why? Why ? Why?

I believe that the Messengers of the One True God teach abundantly about religion and spirituality, so I keep on learning from Their Holy Scriptures. Through this learning, I realize that God is one, religon is one, man is one. The Divine Unity is encompassing all the visible and invisible worlds.
I will continue to express my opinion about this matter of Divine Unity for broader consultation to reach our consent for the highest goal on earth: unity of all mankind in peace, prosperity and progress.
So I am always ready to read carefully your various opinions for more exchange of ideas. I believe that the teachings of the Messengers of God are perfect, but my comprehension is eternally limited, so I really appreciate the consultation on this forum and on other fora if possible.

I feel that there is enough constriction on those in need without constraining them to another snare. If you give from a free heart "knowing" God there would be no need for bullying funds or gifts. Neither would there be the pressure to provide for the pastor, prophet, leadership or the prayer party. Because in the Bible the community paid for those who prayed for them. Who or what body of people does that nowadays? O'h so sorry we've grown out of this responsibility. Do you get the picture of todays churches. I'm not saying all are run like this you just have to look at the Internet appeals?
